This chic, modern villa is an ideal base for a family or small group of friends seeking a coastal stay. Packed full of Puglian charm, you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable break here, but the cherry on top for us is the outdoor space. Sun-kissed terraces, a private pool, alfresco dining opportunities and sea views stretching for miles – what’s not to love? Locally, it’s a mere six kilometres to Santa Maria di Leuca and less than four kilometres from the beaches of Pescoluse Torre Vado – there’s something for everyone here.

Welcome Hamper

A local team of architects and designers have painstaking brought this traditional Trulli-style home back to life. From the fairytale cone roofs of the old section to the thick white walls of local stone and lime. Now, it’s a relaxing retreat for a small group with a glorious infinity pool at its core. Lined with loungers, this is the perfect place to cool off from the hot southern sun. There’s dining for the whole group out here too, in the full outdoor kitchen. You can admire the silhouettes of ancient olive trees as the sun sets over the countryside.    

Inside, every original detail and modern flourish feels like it has been carefully considered, from hand-picked crockery to candle-filled stone fireplaces. The kitchen is all sleek modernity, and the bedrooms are decked out in boho style with crisp white walls and straw-coloured accents.

You’re in the heart of the blissfully quiet Puglian countryside here, but a twelve-minute drive takes you to the buzzing old town of Ceglie Messapica, where ancient church bells chime on a Sunday and cafés spill out into squares. The UNESCO town of Ostuni is just a twenty-minute drive too – perfect for a day trip.

It's not a trip to Puglia without a stay in a trullo house, and this is a gorgeous one. Located in the rolling countryside, within easy reach of some of the area's historic towns, it's a great place to begin your Italian adventures. 

The traditional stone building has plenty of original touches – you'll love the conical roofs and decorative fireplace that provides a rustic charm. When you get hungry, you can head to the kitchen and cook up your favourite pasta dishes using fresh local ingredients. And, there's no better place to serve up your culinary creations than outside on the patio, as you breathe in the fresh air and admire the lush greenery surrounding you. 

When you fancy a day trip, there are plenty of places to visit in the surrounding area. The magnificent white city of Ostuni is around twenty minutes away by car, where you can stroll through the labyrinthine old quarter. The hilltop town of Martina Franca is around twenty-five minutes away, and if you fancy a day at the beach then you can drive to the coast in just over half an hour.

Serenity, class and comfort ooze from every facet of this stunning Italian trullo. The features are magnificent, from the whitewashed stone to the rustic fireplace – you’ll feel completely at home. A masterpiece in design, if you aren’t looking up at the beamed ceilings, you will be looking down at the beautiful rugs covering the majestic tiled flooring. You’ll find yourself wandering through this home with a large glass of wine, enjoying the beauty of the interiors. 

Awake from a lovely relaxing sleep to find light peeking through the quaint castle-like windows. Make yourself a coffee and sink into the large contemporary sofa for a peaceful morning and moment of calm, before indulging in breakfast alfresco surrounded by your loved ones and taking in the beauty of your surroundings with bright flowers, greenery and clean white wicker furniture to enjoy. As the Italian sun warms your skin, you’ll welcome the refreshing waters of your cool blue pool where you can while away the hours during the heat of the day. 

If you fancy exploring the local surroundings, restaurants and shops are within walking distance or a short drive away for convenience. Sample a traditional bowl of pasta with a little limoncello and you’ll never want to leave.

If you’re seeking a picturesque home in central Monopoli, this second-floor apartment is just the ticket. There’s no parking here, but this city on the Adriatic Sea is easily explored on foot. Speaking of, you’ll find the Baroque Monopoli Cathedral, the 16th-century Castle of Carlo V, and the frescoed Palmieri Palace within walking distance. Located within a period building, you’ll find plenty of original features here. Though you’ll need to climb the stairs up, you'll love spending evenings on the rooftop terrace relaxing with wine and grilling up dinners.

Wandering through cobbled alleyways, across the small piazzas and past quirky antique shops, you'll know you've just discovered one of Italy's hidden gems. This villa can be found in a quiet village, between the Gagliano de Capo countryside and the historic old town, and could not be more perfectly placed for soaking up the very best of Italy. 

The exterior is a quintessential country farmhouse, with picture-perfect window shutters and a stone patio that beckons you to take a seat and crack open a bottle of red wine. While away the hours with good weather and good company. 

Inside, there's rustic charm in abundance, plus all of the creature comforts that'll make you feel right at home. The garden, however, is where you'll likely spend most of your time, with a private swimming pool and enclosed garden that's perfect for soaking up all of that Meditteranean sunshine on a warm afternoon. Peruse the extensive library of books that are housed in the bedroom, then get comfortable in one of the sun loungers for a relaxing afternoon.

If you're an adventure-seeker, you might spend a day snorkelling or scuba diving in the crystal clear waters of Ponte del Ciolo, or hiking along the Regional Natural Coastal Park. Whether you're exploring majestic cathedrals or rugged coastlines, a serene evening awaits when you return to the peace of your private garden.

Old Town Treasures

Balcony / Patio

Whitewashed walls, stone ceilings, and a sun soaked terrace – this place has got Ostuni written all over it. You’ll find it to the north of the city centre, tucked down a quiet street but still within easy reach of a whole host of bars and restaurants for eating out. The terrace is the star of the show, boasting sweeping views of the Puglian coast, but the apartment as a whole feels warm and homely, making it exactly the kind of place you’ll want to chill out in after a busy day of sightseeing.

Secluded away in the rugged beauty of the Puglian countryside, 15km south of the iconic trulli-covered town of Ostuni, this cone-shaped home is an absolute dream for anyone looking to experience a traditional southern Italian stay.

Stunning inside and out, this trullo is characterised by exposed stone walls, elegant archways and soaring ceilings. Some modern additions ensure its practicality as a gorgeous getaway perfect for multi-generational families or groups of friends, with spacious bedrooms and sleek en-suites ensuring plenty of privacy.

The outdoor space is a haven, with an inviting pool shrouded by olive trees and lush gardens, so you're free to top up your tan or seek solace in the shade of a nearby tree. In addition, there are a couple of fantastic outdoor dining areas and a wood-fired barbecue, where we'd be tempted to cook all our meals.

Set on a hectare of land and surrounded by fields, the trullo offers a tranquil space to unwind far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you can rouse yourself from your relaxation, the quaint streets and piazzas of Ceglie Messapica are approximately fifteen minutes away. The best thing about this enchanting town? Its enviable array of restaurants that serve up mouthwatering Puglian specialities. 

Alternatively, drive 30km or so in the opposite direction, and you'll arrive on Puglia's awe-inspiring Adriatic coast. Its shimmering azure waters and white sand beaches are more than a match for the Maldives.

Very Trulli Yours

This cluster of Trulli homes is like a fairytale illustration come to life. Each bone-white stone structure is home to a separate bedroom, kitchen and living room, with the outside space connecting them all together. Inside, comfy beds are nestled in archways and circular rooms have bare stone walls for an authentic feel. There’s no shortage of mod-cons though, with flatscreen TVs and desks for remote working if you need.

Really, though, this place was made for outdoor living, making the most of the sunny climes of Italy’s heel. There’s a full outdoor kitchen with a traditional stone bread oven, and myriad places to dine in the sun or shade – the choice is yours. Seats in the shade of ancient olive trees provide a moment’s respite. But the piece de resistance has to be the covered hot tub, surrounded by sun loungers to dry off after.

The location is a boon too, just outside the centre of one of Puglia’s prettiest towns – Locorotondo. A cluster of white medieval churches makes up the historic hilltop centre, where winding cobbled streets are filled with family-run trattoria and slow-food eateries. The UNESCO town of Ostuni is also within day-trip distance if you have a car.

In the land of ancient olive groves, traditional Truli and whitewashed hilltop towns, this beautiful home sits in perfect harmony with its environment. 

Just a short drive from the centre of Ostuni (4km away) as well as the beaches of the Puglian coast, you’ll find yourself quickly transported to the warmth and beauty of Italian living. And with an abundance of living space alongside seven bedrooms (each with its own bathroom), this is the perfect setting for an intimate celebration or a restorative retreat – one that’s filled with style, elegance and rustic charm. 

Wake up early and enjoy mesmerising views across the Itria valley from the balcony, take a dip in the pool, spend lazy afternoons on a sun lounger and gather for golden hour drinks on the terrace. Your host can also arrange a private chef to prepare a delicious Italian-inspired feast – inviting you to sit back and soak up the beauty of this unique location. 

For explorations beyond this peaceful sanctuary, days can be spent strolling the ancient narrow streets of Ostuni and Cisternino, or exploring the beaches nestled along the coast – just a twenty-minute drive away. 

Natural Peace 

Wheelchair Access

Nestled in the historic centre of Vibonati, this villa offers close proximity to Salerno’s main attractions, from the archeologic site of Paestum, Policastro and Sapri to the National Parc del Cilento. When it comes to relaxing at home, however, you’ll have lots of outdoor space to enjoy – we love the private pool, BBQ area complete with a pizza oven (perfect for alfresco dinners) and the balconies that offer views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Several of the rooms feature multiple beds, making this the ideal home for those travelling with little ones who need to sleep in the same room as their parents. 

The Ocean Melody

Trash Compactor

Spend a serene stay at this incredible villa in Taviano, a picturesque town based in the province of Lecce and nicknamed the ‘city of flowers’ for its famous flower fields. You’ll love exploring the Old Town, where sugar-cube buildings sit next to Baroque palaces, and you can find delicious restaurants, trendy bars and quaint cafes. You’re also a short drive from the beaches of Gallipoli, home to classy beach bars and crystal-clear waters.

Characterful touches such as beam ceilings, reclaimed driftwood and natural stone brickwork await inside, along with a neutral colour scheme that invokes a real sense of calm. This is all combined with modern amenities that make your stay feel seamless. You’ll be even more wowed by the outside, with a large garden featuring a stunning outdoor pool where you can swim and splash under the hot sun. There are also plenty of places to chill out, all speckled with palm trees to make it feel like you’ve entered true paradise. The sun loungers invite you to relax poolside with a cocktail on hot summer days, while the covered dining terrace provides the ideal place to feast with family and friends. There’s also a dining area on the rooftop terrace that makes for a great sundowner spot. 

Dreamy Driftwood

Paid Parking

Housed in a former fishermen's building, this apartment is located in the heart of Monopoli, just steps away from the historic centre and the picturesque harbour. The apartment’s living room, off the well-equipped kitchen, sleeps two guests on a sofa bed at full capacity. Both the living area and the bedroom have a small balcony overlooking the street, while on the top floor, there’s a communal rooftop terrace with a 360-degree view of the harbour, lighthouse and the town’s rooftops.

The Harbour's Lighthouse

Access to Beach

Set just outside the historic centre of Polignano a Mare, this home offers plenty of space for four people to spread out and enjoy some quiet time. There’s no TV, but with many amenities on your doorstep, two sun-kissed terraces, sea views and the Mediterranean climate to enjoy, we think you’ll be too busy to notice. Locally, you’ll find restaurants, ice cream shops and boutiques within walking distance, while popular destinations such as Monopoli and Castellana Grotte are a short drive away. 

Marine Magic

This elegant villa seamlessly blends old with new, promising a serene Italian escape. Perfect for a family or group of friends, there’s plenty of space to spread out here and enjoy some quiet time – that said, we think everyone will gravitate towards the outdoor space. Peaceful, sun-kissed terraces, a private pool, and shaded spots for alfresco meals – there’s so much to love about this home. If you can tear yourself away, it’s a short drive to the whitewashed city of Ostuni, or you can head to Costa Merlata for a day on the coast. 

The Sunshine Home

This stunning home is beautiful in style and ambience. Whitewashed walls, ‘pop of colour’ furniture and elegant Italian tiles create a sophisticated and homely feel. The stonework is simply beautiful – we love the archways and conical ceilings that add so much character to this home. 

Mornings will be well spent with a steaming mug of coffee on your private terrace overlooking your tranquil pool and green gardens. With the Italian sun beating down, don your sun hat and settle down on a lounger with a good book and a refreshing glass of white wine for ultimate relaxation. When you crave a little respite from the heat of the day, sink into your pool and enjoy a fun-filled few hours with loved ones. 

If you can tear yourself away from this home, meander through the quaint streets of the local towns or just a stone's throw further, you will be met with the picturesque coastline. As tiredness sets in, head back to your little piece of paradise. Charming and traditional in equal measure, this Italian home will be the backdrop to a wonderful stay. 

The Cream of the Crop

With the beach just a short walk away, this Puglian villa surrounded by two acres of olive groves delivers an ideal spot for a coastal escape. There’s plenty of space for a large group, with en-suites for every bedroom, outdoor lounging areas, an infinity pool, and an outdoor kitchen with an induction hob. A midweek clean is included in your stay, plus there is a range of extras available, from personal trainers to massage services and private chefs. Location-wise, you’re right on the Adriatic coast, with Castro, Marina di Andrano and Tricase Porto, all within easy driving distance.

Olive & Red Earth

Step-Free Access

Immersed in the natural beauty of Salento, this historic Masseria opens its doors to a unique Italian escape. Originally built as a farmhouse, the rooms have been restored into a peaceful sanctuary while retaining the original character. Outside, you can lounge under olive trees, swim in the pool and sip drinks on the veranda. It’s also possible to hold special events here (on request) and your host can help organise a range of sweet extras – including a private chef and a welcome hamper. Beyond this rustic haven, it’s less than 2 kilometres to the town of Tricase, while the nearest beaches are a short drive away.

Vaulted ceilings and original tiles underfoot are a nod to this 18th-century home’s former glory, and keep things naturally cool inside. Each bedroom has its own style and there’s a dedicated office room for those working remotely. But it’s the outdoor space that captivated us, with a big swimming pool carved from local stone and loads of comfortable places to catch the sun (or laze in the shade) on patios and terraces. This villa is in the centre of Diso, a historical Salento village two kilometres from the sea with a small shop and cafes within walking distance.

Nestled in the heart of the Puglian countryside, this gorgeous villa is as magical as it gets. We love the organic feel of the interior here – think vaulted brick ceilings, rustic floor tiles, and handmade wooden furniture – but it’s the outside space that really stands out, boasting lush private gardens, shaded verandas, and a private rooftop pool. Dip your toes in and gaze out at your beautiful surroundings or stretch out on one of the poolside sun loungers and listen to the sound of trees swaying in the wind as you work on your golden tan. 

Whether you’re travelling with friends or family, this home has got you covered. Keep little ones entertained in the private playground or gather everyone around the outdoor dining table for a light lunch made with fresh ingredients from the herb garden.  Designed for group holidays, there’s plenty of space for socialising here but if you’re craving some 'me time', you won’t have to go far to find a private corner to relax in. Settle into your favourite spot in the garden or wander over to the trullo for a fresh cup of coffee and some well-earned peace and quiet.

No doubt about it, this idyllic Itria Valley home is pure Puglian perfection. Comprising carefully restored Trulli – traditional dry-stone structures with a conical roof – along with contemporary architectural additions, this authentic home oozes character and charm as well as sophistication and style. Featuring an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space – think whitewashed walls, awesome archways and cool tiled floors – as well as two beautifully serene bedrooms, this heavenly home is perfect for a couple of couples or family group seeking some good old-fashioned R & R. Occupying a tucked-away and tranquil spot and surrounded by gorgeous greenery, this wonderfully white home boasts spaces fit for socialising as well as seclusion.

Laze on loungers in the sun or luxuriate in your private, outdoor pool. Prepare family favourites on the white worktops in the kitchen before dining alfresco on the poolside terrace. Treat yourself to an afternoon snooze or seek the calm of the colourful courtyard. Find a quiet place to sit and read a book on the banquette seating in the sitting room or relax with a glass of local wine on the sofa. Round off a romantic day with time spent in the master bedroom’s free-standing tub.

If you fancy a little light exploration, you’ll find you’re a ten-minute drive away from both the Valley towns of Locorotondo and Cisternino. Set off on scenic walks or cycle routes or venture a little further and discover iconic Ostuni – also known as ‘The White City’ – famous for its 15th-century Gothic cathedral.  


Terracotta Heaven

For a unique and memorable stay in Brindisi, this stunning villa is an excellent option. You’ll be housed in a wonderful Trulli – the quirky conical-roofed homes most often found in Puglia and Brindisi. Beneath its coned roof, the villa is a stylish place to stay. The unusual shape of the home means there are cosy corners for you to curl up in, as well as a high-ceilinged dining room that’s the heart of the home. 

Of course, you’ll likely be hoping for warm weather, so will probably spend most of your time outside. Sit out in the sunshine, revelling in the glorious countryside views before going for a dip in the private swimming pool. Cook on the barbecue and dine on the terrace, in the shade of a dreamy pergola. You’ll find yourself relaxing as soon as you arrive at this idyllic home in Ceglie Messapica.


In The Rooftops

This charming villa is made up of a trullo and a lamia made from local stone – staying here, you get a taste of authentic southern Italian living. It’s just 4 kilometres from the town centre of Castellana Grotte, and 15 kilometres from iconic Alberobello. It’s in a great position for exploring Puglia, though we’d recommend bringing a car to do so. The home is traditional and inviting. We love the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, which can be enjoyed from the terrace. Outside, you’ll find a private pool in addition to a fantastic alfresco dining area – there’s a pizza oven and barbecue to cook on. 

Mediterranean Solstice

With its beautiful frescoed ceiling, arched walls, and cavernous spaces, this apartment makes for an atmospheric stay in the heart of the Baroque city of Lecce. Alongside historical features such as traditional shutters, the home has pops of modernity, from the bright artwork to the blue chandeliers.  Unusually for this packed-in city, this home has a private swimming pool – perfect for cooling off in the height of Puglia's summer. The sheltered terrace looks over the pool and we love the idea of long lunches or late dinners with friends here. Alternatively, Lecce's many seafood restaurants are only a short stroll along the cobbled streets. The house is in the centre of the city, with Roman amphitheatres, medieval castles, and grand cathedrals all jostling for space. On warmer days, it's less than a thirty-minute drive to the Mediterranean and many seaside tavernas.

Midsummer Daydreams

This stone house is a charming base for six in Monopoli. It’s close to the seafront, and boasts wonderful views of the sea and the historic city centre from the terrace. We love the alfresco dining area in the shade of the pergola, too – you’ll likely spend most of your time here outside. Inside, there are lots of stairs to navigate so it’s not a suitable choice for those with children under six. There are cosy corners for moments of relaxation, and quirky details that add charm. 

Azure Affair

Located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, this home is perfectly positioned for exploring the Puglian countryside or visiting the beaches and coves of Monopoli. It has everything you need for a relaxing getaway and is located on the grounds of a lush park that’s exclusively yours to explore. 

The home's archetypical Italian design, with romantic arched ceilings and tall windows, bathes it in natural light – a sense of calm can be felt throughout. Surrounded by olive groves and blooming flora, the privacy of the expansive gardens allows you to truly disconnect. After waking up in the cosy confines of your bed, why not swim a few laps in the pool or lay out and feel the sun's warmth on your skin? After cooking a home-cooked meal in the Italianate kitchen, join friends on the terrace for lunch and a tipple. If you're keen to explore a little, hop in the car and visit some of the region's sleepy hilltop villages or take a tour of a local winery. 


I Dream of Italy

Located in the heart of Puglia’s picturesque countryside, this traditional trullo home is a unique base for a family holiday or as a retreat for a group of friends. The interior may be on the minimalist side but it’s hard not to fall under the spell of the whitewashed walls and conical ceilings. In addition to that, you’ll also enjoy a garden with a private swimming pool and an outdoor hot tub. For delicious family meals, gather in the alfresco dining area or head inside where a generous table also awaits. Bear in mind that a car is recommended here in order to explore the area and reach the nearby towns, which include Ostuni. 

Good Heart

Juicer

Blender

Found on over an acre of lush vegetation, this trullo takes full advantage of the garden to add to its beauty, but it’s not the only card it holds. Only a few steps from the front door, you’ll find a private swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers – the perfect setup for enjoying lazy sunshine days in and around the water. A little further on, the pool house offers comfortable seating for afternoon nibbles and wine, but not before an alfresco lunch prepared in the stone barbecue. 

Take afternoon walks in the garden to better admire the manicured hedges and olive groves or appreciate the landscape from the covered terrace at sunset. When you eventually venture inside, you don’t need to worry about severing your outdoor connection entirely, not when most of the living space comes with floor-to-ceiling windows and door leading out. Even in the bedrooms, you can open the doors to let the fresh air in or sneak out for a bit of late-night stargazing. 

If you manage to tear yourself away from this private paradise, you can find the coast only minutes away or explore the historic Ugento, Gallipoli or Santa Maria di Leuca.

Trullo Spectacular

Foosball / Table Football

A magnificent base for an Italian escape, this beautiful home has it all. It’s close to the beaches of Polignano a Mare in the picturesque Apulian countryside, surrounded by lawns and lush vegetation, including citrus and olive trees. The outside space includes a salt-water swimming pool and an orange grove atmospherically lit in the evening. There’s also a gazebo and barbecue for alfresco dining. Thanks to a thorough restoration, the villa preserves its authentic historic charm while incorporating modern amenities and style – this is an attractive, chic home. We love the use of natural stone and wood, particularly in the open-plan living and dining space. 

Sunshine & Citrus

Embrace la dolce vita at this villa, located on the outskirts of the hill town of Oria in northern Salento. There are plenty of places to relax in the garden, including the dining area under the gazebo and the loungers by the private pool, which is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October. If exploring sounds like a good idea, why not take advantage of your host's additional services and set off on a guided tour?
